For the game between Flamengo and Cuiabá, this Saturday (6/7), at 8pm, at Maracanã, for the Brazilian Championship, CET-Rio set up a special traffic scheme. From 5:30 pm onwards, vehicle traffic closures will begin in the region, around the stadium. These measures aim to ensure safety and fluidity in traffic during the event. Authorities expect a large movement of fans and vehicles. The closures are necessary to avoid congestion and facilitate access to the stadium.
Fifty-five CET-Rio agents, six operational vehicles and ten motorcycles will provide guidance of traffic. The team will be strategically positioned to direct drivers and pedestrians. Additionally, 13 variable message boards will provide information about closure times and alternative routes. These panels are essential to keep the population well-informed and avoid disruptions. The organization hopes that the information will help minimize impacts on traffic.
The entire set of measures is in favor of road safety and traffic flow. Maintaining free intersections is a priority, as is the guidance of pedestrians, fans and drivers. Agents will be prepared to respond quickly to any situation. CET-Rio emphasizes the importance of everyone's collaboration for the success of the scheme. With careful planning, traffic is expected to flow efficiently.
Technicians from CET-Rio, at the Rio Operations Center (COR), will monitor all traffic movement through cameras. This monitoring will allow a comprehensive and detailed view of the road situation. If necessary, adjustments will be made to the traffic signal schedule to ensure good traffic conditions. The technology used in COR is fundamental for efficient traffic management. Coordination between agents and real-time monitoring are crucial to the success of the operation.
The match between Flamengo and Cuiabá promises to attract a large audience to Maracanã. Authorities recommend that fans arrive at the stadium early to avoid setbacks. The traffic scheme was designed to provide the best possible experience for fans. CET-Rio is confident that, with everyone's collaboration, the event will take place without any major problems. The objective is to ensure safety and convenience for everyone involved.

On Wednesday night (06), Flamengo beat Atlético-MG 1-0 at Arena MRV , in Belo Horizonte, in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. With the same score as the first leg, but in favor of Rubro-Negro, the decision of the spot was left to the penalty shootout . In the penalties, the Minas Gerais team was more efficient and advanced to the semifinals.
Despite a strong performance over the 90 minutes, the result wasn't enough. In the penalty shootout, Atlético-MG converted four of their five attempts, while Mengão missed a penalty each from Wallace Yan and Samuel Lino.
After the end of the match, Filipe Luís, who led the team in the coach's absence , commented on the starting lineup and explained that the decisions were made based on the physical conditions of the available athletes.
"The decision on the starting lineup first involved some who didn't travel, Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo, who weren't fit to play , were barred. Some couldn't start because they were on vacation, like Lino, Royal, and Saúl," said Filipe Luís .
"Arrascaeta felt discomfort in the last game. And I put together a team with the players I have, just like in the first game , enough to win and play a great game. That's how they did it," said the coach.
Now out of the Copa do Brasil competition, the Rio team's focus is now fully on the Brazilian Championship . Next Saturday (09), Mengão hosts Mirassol at Maracanã, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), for the 18th round of the competition.
The Rio de Janeiro team beat Atlético-MG 1-0 away from home, equaling the aggregate score, but saw their place in the semifinals slip away on penalties after a mistake by Wallace.

On Wednesday night (06), Flamengo beat Atlético-MG 1-0 at Arena MRV , reversing the disadvantage of the first leg and equalizing the match at 1-1 on aggregate . The decision of the spot was left to penalties, where the Minas Gerais team got the best and stamped its passport to the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil.
With a strong performance, the Rubro-Negro dominated most of the match, creating clear chances, and finding the net with Pedro in the second half. However, their efficiency in penalty kicks made the difference: while Atlético-MG converted four of their five kicks, Wallace Yan missed the last one for the Rio de Janeiro team, sealing their elimination.
After the match ended, coach Filipe Luís showed support for Wallace Yan, who missed the decisive penalty . For the experienced player, the youngster demonstrated character by taking responsibility at such a crucial moment.
"He's a player with a lot of personality. He doesn't hide, he's not shy around anyone. He's been the center of attention, but Lyanco isn't a saint, and neither are Everson or Hulk. They provoke. They get involved in these game things," he said before concluding.
"In high-performance football, no one wants to lose. And that's how it is. As long as there's no violence, it's fine. Both teams want to win. Atlético-MG won. Wallace played a great game, he did what was in the game plan. He has personality and a great future ahead of him," said Filipe.
With the elimination in the Copa do Brasil, the focus now turns completely to the Brazilian Championship . On Saturday (09), Flamengo hosts Mirassol at Maracanã, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), for the 18th round of the tournament.

After the end of the match, Filipe Luís spoke about the choice of batsmen and defended Wallace Yan, who missed the last penalty for Mais Querido: " They were the players who bat better, who were available , who were more confident to bat," he said before concluding.
" I myself have made mistakes (being) very confident in penalty shootouts . Penalties are penalties, there is a very fine line between victory and defeat. The only thing I can say is that I am proud of the players who went out there and took the ball with the courage to take it," said the full-back.
During regulation time, Filipe Luís's team demonstrated control. Consistently creating opportunities and neutralizing Atlético-MG's attack, the team maintained its dominance.
Cebolinha's goal gave the fans hope, but the penalty shootout ultimately thwarted the red-and-blacks' plans. With Wallace Yan missing his shot and the Minas Gerais team converting the final ball , elimination was sealed, despite a competitive performance on the field.
